Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 Centavos coin from Colombia, made of Copper-nickel and weighing 4.45g, is a rare and unique coin that was never put into circulation. It was minted in 1900 as a pattern coin, meaning it was created as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design, but it was ultimately not adopted for use. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
